You will need to go to Stan's website to view the star chart and Stan's drawing of an alignment of planets that was shown to him in December 2000 during his first abduction / Contact experience with the beings Stan refers to as "Possum People"

We are anxiously and excitedly waiting to see what if anything this date points to. We have no information other than the drawing and the validation that the drawing is of a planetary alignment that will happen on September 21, 2012.

Another step forward as we bring positive energy, enlightenment, truth and love to the people of this planet, and move one step closer to the "SHIFT"??? Mass UFO sightings? First worldwide undeniable contact??? We have no clue, but please share any and all of your experiences of the date 9/21/2012 here and/or Facebook so we can all compare our observations.

Despite UFO reports, officials say no missile crashed in Colorado

SAGUACHE COUNTY, Colo. — First it was a plane, then it was a missile. At one point, some even believed it to be a UFO.

Those were all among the rumors when a peculiar white, streaking sight was spotted in the dark, early morning sky in southwestern Colorado on Thursday.

Trooper Josh Lewis said the Colorado State Patrol received the first call on the matter at approximately 6:40 a.m., with the reporting party believing a plane crash had just occurred. As officers were en route, Lewis said the CSP received word from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico that the projectile was not a plane, but instead a failed test missile launch.

Officials with the U.S. Army told FOX31 that the White Sands facility had tested a missile at 6:30 a.m. Thursday, but that all of the debris from the test had been contained to the facility grounds. In contrast to the report from Lewis, Army officials insisted their test had gone as planned, and that they did not believe any of the debris would be visible to residents in Colorado.

Several viewers emailed FOX31 concerned and confused about what they had seen Thursday morning. One individual wrote, “I have no clue what is was, so I guess I’ll just call it a UFO.”

Speaking for the CSP, Lewis said he had no further information about the peculiar sighting. When attempting to investigate the incident further, he said authorities at the White Sands Missile Range informed his office to “stand down.”

Astronomers have found a cloud of gas and dust around a young star being devoured by the giant black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, a find that, scientists say, suggests planets can form in galactic cores, scientists say.

The supermassive black hole thought to lurk at the center of the Milky Way is named Sagittarius A*. Scientists estimate it is about 4.3 million times the mass of the sun.

For the most part, very little light is seen emerging from near Sagittarius A*, aside from radio waves and some modest X-ray or infrared flares, suggesting not much matter is currently getting fed into it. This absence of data limits what investigators can deduce about the black hole's properties and behavior, as well as those of the other super-massive black holes believed to be at the centers of all large galaxies.

Recently, astronomers gazing at Sagittarius A* through the Very Large Telescope in Chile spotted a dusty gas cloud three times the mass of Earth hurtling toward the center of the galaxy at more than 5.2 million mph (8.4 million kph).

The cloud is putting out five times as much light as the sun as it zips along. The cloud should achieve its closest approach to the black hole in June 2013, reaching a distance of 270 times that of Earth from the sun. [Milky Way Black Hole Eats Space Cloud in 2013 (Video)]

Scientists are monitoring this mysterious cloud's behavior as it moves closer toward the black hole's accretion zone — the region where matter begins its death spiral into the black hole. A new theoretical model now suggests the cloud is probably the shredded remains of a protoplanetary disk surrounding a young, low-mass star — the kind of structures that worlds eventually develop from.

The star apparently came from the inner edge of a ring of stars 4 million to 8 million years old circling Sagittarius A* from a distance of about one-tenth of a light-year. Interactions within this ring could have flung this star, which by itself is too small for astronomers to see directly, toward the black hole on an elliptical, oval-shaped orbit.

The center of the Milky Way might ordinarily seem like an inhospitable place to try to form a planet, since the young, massive, super-hot stars that often dwell there typically explode as supernovas, blasting out shock waves and bathing the region with intense radiation.

"The galactic center is one of the most extreme environments in the galaxy," said lead study author Ruth Murray-Clay, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.

Nevertheless, the existence of protoplanetary disks near the center of the galaxy suggests that worlds can form in this cosmic maelstrom, as well as comets and asteroids.

"If our explanation for the gas cloud we see is shown to be true, that means protoplanetary disks — and by extension, planets — can be found everywhere," Murray-Clay told SPACE.com.

"It's fascinating to think about planets forming so close to a black hole," study author Abraham Loeb, a theoretical astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., told SPACE.com. "If our civilization inhabited such a planet, we could have tested Einstein's theory of gravitymuch better, and we could have harvested clean energy from throwing our waste into the black hole."

Future research might look for evidence of planets, comets and asteroids falling into supermassive black holes in other galaxies, such as the bright flares dying worlds would release as they get ripped apart. The glowing remains of protoplanetary disks getting sucked into black holes could shed light on low-mass stars near galactic cores that are otherwise too faint to be detected.

As the star continues its plunge over the next year, more and more of the disk's outer material will get torn away. The stripped gas will swirl into the maw of the black hole, and friction will heat it to incandescence, causing it to glow in X-rays.

NASA 'doubles down' in Loveland

U.S. space agency resurrects spirit of ACE in meetings

By Tom Hacker Reporter-Herald Staff Writer

Posted: 09/05/2012 05:18:57 PM MDT

NASA's new earthbound mission could make Colorado a center for technology innovation that "will make the Silicon Valley look old-fashioned," a senior space agency administrator told a Loveland gathering Wednesday.

And Loveland, after 18 months of false starts and faded hopes, still remains the strongest candidate to act as the principal hub for a tech manufacturing renaissance.

NASA sent a team of nine research center managers and scientists from throughout the nation to Loveland for a daylong series of meetings with Colorado businesses, most of them from Northern Colorado, in a renewed push to resurrect the spirit of ACE.

The Aerospace Clean Energy Manufacturing and Innovation Park, or ACE, was announced in April 2011 as a project to turn the former Agilent Technologies campus into a high-tech beehive with thousands of jobs and scores of companies.

In picking up the pieces of that star-crossed project, a top space agency technology manager said hope lives for its renewal.

And she knew just how to reintroduce NASA to the city and the state.

"How many of you are frustrated because we've been talking about this for two years?" asked Diana Hoyt, innovation manager for the space agency's Washington, D.C., headquarters. Hands went up among hundreds of attendees at a city-sponsored business breakfast.

Loveland: 'Crucible'

"What we're doing here has never been done by another U.S. government agency," Hoyt said. "Loveland is the crucible where this great experiment is happening. ... In five to 10 years, Colorado can make the Silicon Valley look old fashioned."

Hoyt and other high-ranking space agency officials, by their sheer numbers and far-flung travel schedules, showed a commitment to doing in Loveland what President Obama told them to do in an executive order last fall.

Robert "Joe" Shaw, manager of business development and partnerships at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio, was blunt in describing the president's directive Wednesday afternoon at the Rocky Mountain Center for Innovation and Technology, as the Agilent campus has been rechristened.

"Double down and get your act together -- my words, not his," Shaw said.

'Target-Rich Space'

"Colorado has the technology, the people, the intellectual property and the facilities. It is a target-rich space of opportunity. ... We're very serious about this relationship, and I hope that message is getting through to you today."

Wednesday's events were a moveable feast for the NASA team, city officials and local businesses, with a city-sponsored business breakfast at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center, followed by the Innovation and Technology Showcase at the Rocky Mountain center on Southwest 14th Street.

NASA space shuttle program veteran and Glenn Research Center director Ray Lugo said NASA's hand-off of its technology to businesses that can commercialize it directly address the issue of government spending that has become such a fat election-year target.

'Money Sink'

He referred to profit-and-loss statements that guide members of his business audience at the Embassy Suites.

"We're a money sink," Lugo said. "Government doesn't have a P&L statement. It's mostly 'L.' There's not much 'P.' We're working hard on relationships with commercial partners to change that."

The showcase event, organized by Marcie Erion, director of Loveland's Office for Creative Sector Development, featured displays by 33 businesses and organizations.

Afternoon presentations by NASA research scientists brought the agency's work literally down to earth, setting a table for businesses interested in licensing technology to manufacture new products.

Gary Hunter, lead scientist for "intelligent system hardware" for the Glenn Center's sensors and electronics branch, described the mission he and his colleagues are eager to share with commercial partners.

Smaller, Smarter

"Make it small, make it smart, and make it adaptable to harsh environments," he said of the work he and other scientists do on projects ranging from fire detection to breath analysis.

NASA's Colorado-based technology transfer advisor, assigned to work with companies that want to tap the space agency's research, said she was already working with 60 who are potential candidates for technology licensing.

"I feel like Lucille Ball with the bon-bons coming down the conveyor belt," said Joni Richards, on leave from her post as small business technical adviser at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
